Join author Amanda Makulec for a presentation on the democratization of data visualization as part of the expert webinar series for the Pacific Data Visualization Challenge.

Today, anyone can create a chart. The craft of creating data visualizations has shifted from a niche skill set to a growing field of practice and a skill in demand among knowledge workers. Technology platforms that promise the capabilities to spin up interactive charts in minutes abound. At the same time, navigating the world increasingly requires being a thoughtful reader of charts too.

But is this shift towards a democratization of the creation of data visualizations a good thing for chart creators? Or for the world at large, when charts can be used to mislead as well as inform? During this talk, Amanda will map how we got to this moment as an industry and explore the pros and cons of this fourth wave in the world of modern data visualization.
